As cool as the technology is behind nostr the current community is absolutely terrifying. Hopefully it can grow out of that.

Their paid service saw a significant loss in users. Something like 12% before they shut down the counter.

Does anybody know if this is a feature of a decimal system?

Not a great look here overall. Was definitely hoping they would take a little bit more accountability. The solution seems simple. Spend less money on egregiously expensive equipment and spend more money on making sure things are accurate before they go out the door.

I’m seeing 43k likes and 48k views. That’s insane.

Tags with mods having tag powers feels like the best option long term. Any sorting system can be applied without worrying about compatibility.

Why don’t we do that now? I suspect it’s because they made sure it could never happen again.

Yo just so you know two spirit has nothing to do with furries. It usually refers to gender nonconforming traditions in indigenous american communities and has largely come into favor in Canada as part of recent campaigns to recognize tribal communities and their histories. These movements have obviously existed for a long time but the revelations about atrocities committed at residential schools seems to have really pushed them into the mainstream.

Otherwise, I think you’re thinking of “otherkin” who are not generally included under the LGBTQ umbrella, but are frequently brought up to discredit queer progress as a movement.

Also positive masculinity tends to still be rooted in fairly patriarchal ideas of what it means to be a man in ways that liberation from gender roles specifically is not.

I understand the desire to automate this sort of thing and I can understand the utility at first but I think we should absolutely be afraid of that in long term use. Instead I think people should use the built in cross posting function to link conversations from different communities. I think this is a great way to build slow diffusion of communities into the fediverse.
